Famous quotes containing the words cast and/or locks:
“All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Many a kiss, both odd and even;
Many a glance, too, has been sent
From out the eye, loves firmament;
Many a jest told of the keys betraying
This night, and locks picked; yet were not a-Maying!”
—Robert Herrick (15911674)
